Does anyone know where I can find the planned absence dates for the replacement cast?

I've seen this production twice on the West End. I was able to catch Maude/Mason last year and Layton/Rhea a few weeks ago. I have no idea if it'll be running next time I make it to London, so I'm debating trying to squeeze in a visit to see the Broadway production in March, which is when I'm planning my trip to see Gypsy... It looks like Adam/Auliʻi are slated to be there the week I'm aiming for, but has there been any word of Bebe exiting?

There hasn't been any word yet about the length of her contract. I think it'd be safe to assume she's contracted for a year, which means next March could be iffy.

I cannot imagine any replacement signed a 12 month contract here. If casting in NY is anything like it has been in London, I would say the leads will exit after 3-6 months.

They're talking about Bebe. Tickets are on sale until March 29, which is the end of 12 months since the first preview. If Bebe is contracted for a year, that'll be her departure date. As for the leads, they're probably contracted until that date, as well, which would be just over 6 months for them. For above-the-title stars, the assumption is that they won't sell tickets beyond the end of their contracts without notifying buyers of a cast change, like they did with Eddie and Gayle.

Thanks for this! Sally Ann Triplet as Schneider was the highlight of the current West End cast for me and kind of stole the show, so if Bebe is still there, it'd be a huge draw for me. I didn't realize it'll already be coming up to a year already this March!  Could have sworn the show barely started in May/June.

First preview was Monday, April 1, 2023, so Sunday, March 29, 2024, will be exactly 1 year.

I saw this tonight.

Steven Skybell is excellent.

Bebe Neuwirth's "What Would You Do" is one of the greatest moments I have ever seen.

He looks a million times better and years younger without the mustache.

Tickets are on sale through March.  It’s so weird to me that they don’t do Sunday matinees.  Isn’t that the biggest moneymaker?
